can i take propranolol before parachuiting
Male | 24
I would think twice before using propranolol before parachuting. The reason for my concern is that propranolol can slow down heart rate as well as blood pressure levels. Quick blood flow is necessary for sufficient oxygen transportation in the body since parachuting involves falling from a high altitude. Taking propranolol might lead to feeling faint or light-headed. This could be highly unsafe while engaging in such an activity. Therefore, refraining from using this drug before going skydiving would be best.

Male | 25
It is common for anxiety to cause headaches due to stress and tension. However, if your headache persists for more than two days or is severe, it is important to consult a doctor. Please visit a neurologist to rule out any other underlying issues.

I have an obsession with touching dust and when I mean obsession I mean like if I see dust and don’t wipe it away the thought of that dust being there will be on my mind all day and I can’t rest or forget it until I wipe it away it’s a genuine problem for me and it’s starting to interfere with my life is this ocd or is it just an obsession?
Female | 18
OCD makes people have weird thoughts they can't stop. Like needing to touch dust. These obsessive behaviors feel impossible to avoid. Even though you know they're irrational, the urge is extremely powerful. Don't worry, it's treatable with therapy and medications prescribed by psychiatrists. Discussing the issue openly with counselors helps manage disturbing compulsions. They understand this disorder and can guide you through coping strategies. There are solutions available to overcome OCD's relentless grip.

Does levonorgestrel effective if I'm under antidepressants medications which include epilepsy medication also
Female | 22
Levonorgestrel is generally a reliable emergency contraceptive pill, but there are certain medications, for example, drugs used to treat epilepsy or depression, which might make its effect weaker. These interactions may also be the cause of the contraception not working properly. It’s crucial to spot any discomfort you have during this period including the unexpected bleeding or the menstrual changes and you have to monitor the situation. I recommend that you discuss the medications that you are using with a healthcare provider.

Several months ago, I experienced a sudden and strong fear in one of the cafes, to the point that I felt a squeeze in my heart, pain, and a very strong palpitation, as if it had reached my stomach. I had to cough to relieve the palpitations and suffocation. Days later, I quickly became afraid of the simplest, even daily, situations, even if a simple emotion caused me strong palpitations and suffocation. And the tremors and coldness of the extremities. I read about diseases of the adrenal gland and became very afraid. The condition increased with great fear. I now cannot stand leaving the house and am very afraid of any feelings, even if the feelings are happiness or good feelings and also i get dizzy when i stand up too fast is it possible that there is something dangerous with the adrenal gland?

Experiencing a lack of emotions can be concerning and might indicate underlying conditions such as depression or anxiety.

I am an 18 year old female and have recently been prescribed 25mg of Sertraline to take for my anxiety. However i haven't started taking it yet because i feel i didn't get the chance to fully talk about my concerns and the potential side effects before committing to taking medication.
Female | 18
Sertraline is often the first treatment for anxiety. Mild side effects that can be experienced are stomach aches, headaches, and problems with sleeping. These disappear by themselves. If you have any doubt about taking it, ask your physician for a consultation. They are available to help you with your doubts before starting the course of the medication.

As per your complaints you seem to have phobias for needles and sharp objects and excessive cleaning or washing of hands is suggestive of obsessive compulsive disorder, LONAZEP will hardly help, you need to take anti obsessive and medicines for phobias under supervision of a psychiatrist

I think I am suffering from anxiety & panic attacks & headache bhut jyada ho rha h extreme
Female | 24
Experiencing anxiety, panic episodes, and severe headaches can be challenging. These symptoms may arise from stress, lifestyle factors, or underlying health conditions. It's essential to identify triggers and practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, regular exercise, and mindfulness. Maintaining a balanced diet and proper hydration can also help. However, persistent or extreme symptoms deserve professional attention. I recommend scheduling a visit with a psychiatrist who can offer personalized support and explore treatment options, ensuring you feel better equipped to manage your experience.

Can I stop 50 mg zoloft cold turkey after 6 days of use?
Female | 25
Taking a 50mg Zoloft dose abruptly for 6 days without medical advice is not the right thing to do. The abrupt termination of this medicine can produce withdrawal of the symptoms and may affect your undesirable mental health. A psychiatrist or a mental health professional would counsel reducing the medicine very slowly and supervising you closely.

Female | 43
Side effects may arise after stopping the medication suddenly, particularly if it's for a mental disorder such as schizophrenia. The symptoms you are having such as vomiting, irritability, difficulty concentrating, dizziness, and dry mouth may be because of this sudden change. It's necessary to talk to your psychiatrist about this, doing so you'll be able to get rid of them safely. They might recommend decreasing the dose step by step or shifting to another drug to prevent adverse effects.

Female | 25
It sounds like you're experiencing a difficult emotional state, which can sometimes manifest as a lack of interest in relationships or feelings of connection. Various factors, including stress, anxiety, depression, or even hormonal changes, can contribute to this. It’s important to engage in self-care, such as maintaining a healthy lifestyle and reaching out to supportive friends or family. I encourage you to consider speaking with a psychiatrist, who can help identify the underlying causes and provide tailored support.

Female | 23
It seems that you might have parasomnia a type of sleep disorder. It can cause sleep talking or shouting without your awareness. This might be related to stress, anxiety, or even irregular sleep patterns. Try to manage stress levels, keep a consistent sleep schedule, and develop a relaxing bedtime routine to lessen these incidents. If this does not help, seek advice from a psychiatrist.

Hi, I got prescribed sertraline 50mg and wanted to start treatment. However, I took St John’s wort 3 days ago. Is this safe for me to start sertraline treatment tomorrow?
Female | 22
Sertraline helps with depression and anxiety. St. John's Wort is an herb that doesn't mix well with sertraline. Together, they could cause serotonin syndrome - symptoms like confusion, fast heartbeat, and high blood pressure. It's better to wait 2 weeks after stopping St. John's Wort before starting sertraline. This prevents any issues from occurring.

And do watching the western wedding video also harmful for our brain? Please explain it in details.
Male | 20
Consuming explicit content can influence mental well-being. Prolonged exposure may lead to desensitization, unrealistic expectations of relationships, and can impact focus and emotional health. Watching such material consistently, like nightly for a week, can increase anxiety and alter perceptions of intimacy. Recovery varies, often requiring behavioral changes and time away from such content to regain a balanced mindset. Engaging with romantic or sexually explicit media, including wedding videos, can also influence thoughts and emotions. It’s important to reflect on your choices and discuss concerns with a psychiatrist to navigate feelings and maintain mental health.
